It’s Holy Week. Yesterday in church they read the Passion. As I was sitting there playing with my palm, trying to turn it into a cross, I thought of something new. When the criminal on the cross next to Jesus says to him “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” it made me

Putting on God’s Armor
I was on the battlefield yesterday. Actually, it started last week when they called me in for some more tests. They saw something on the mammogram that was suspicious.

The Elephant in the Room…or is it a Donkey?
I have sat down to write something at least four different times today and I just keep hesitating. There are many things I could write about but there is one thing on my mind. The election. Ugh. Writing about the election is not what I want to do. But how can I not? The news

What’s the point?
I wonder, is there a time in everyone’s life when the surface stuff seems really pointless? I mean, does everyone get to the point where they say, “There has to be more to life”? I feel that so keenly at this point in my life. Maybe it’s because I have kids. Maybe it’s because I’ve
